Shiraz | 2016Whoops must have had a brain-fart Of course Longview and Langmeil are different wineries but I somehow conflated them... I guess it must be the Zilzie after drilling down through more info online, I can't see a mention of Jane Faulkner's 90 points or the Halliday "special value" description anywhere though in relation to it and the Wine Companion gives the Langmeil 90 points from Jane Faulkner and "special value" with rrp of $20 but no mention of the CWS double gong.

A bright mid-garnet colour; it's appeal is immediate with florals, red fruits and a dash of woodsy spices. It's fleshy with ripe, plump fruit on the palate, pliable tannins and a price matched accordingly.
It is the Zilzie, one of my Forum members bought it previously and sent it back after finding it "very ordinary".
Wine Companion site has a serious data error in that when searching they use the Region of the Winery as the Region setting against the wine instead of having a separate Region value for the wine. Makes searching for some wines a little difficult.
